Default trailer bearings more info.

Your trailer will be fine. I'm guessing you have bearing buddies with a
grease fitting on each wheel. You should give them a little grease a couple
times during the boating season. I usually do it the same time I'm hitting
the outdrive fittings. Preferably with marine grease. If you hear any
rumblings or grinding from a trailer wheel it should be checked. Good luck
with your new boat, I hope it serves you well.

you more to go on.



I'd ask some more questions before I gave advice on replacing the

bearings.

Where did the previous owner use it?

How
often was the trailer and boat used.

How many axles on the trailer?
tandem axel

How
big is the boat?

20 foot Celebrity


Was it used in fresh water or salt water?

Thanks.



All he asked was if he was going to have a problem because of the grease

he
used. And all of you tell him to replace the bearings.
